Did you know that the average server produces the same emissions as a 15 mpg SUV?

HostGator hosts over 2,500,000 websites on its shared and reseller web hosting servers. That means a lot of servers, and a lot of carbon emissions. So HostGator asked themselves, What can HostGator do to be part of the climate change solution? HostGator took steps to minimize the environmental impact at the office, but still they weren’t satisfied. HostGator then switched to 36% more efficient servers, but still they weren’t satisfied!

All of HostGator shared and reseller servers are now 130% wind powered!

That’s right! 130%!
HostGator not just neutralizing our environmental impact, they reversing it!

HostGator has purchased certified Renewable Energy Credits representing 130% of the electricity used to both power and cool every last one of there shared and reseller servers!

Just how big a dent in climate change does that make?
It’s the equivalent of:

1. Removing 444 cars from the road for a year, or
2. Powering 321 homes with clean energy for a year, or
3. Saving 5,654 barrels of oil, or
4. Protecting 551 acres of forest for a year

Investing in wind power close to home!
All of HostGator’s wind credits are generated here in our home state of Texas! While they can’t build a wind farm here in downtown Houston, they doing the next best thing and investing in renewable energy close to home!
